20 Clutter-Free Gift ideas Ahead!

Gift giving is a tradition enjoyed by nearly everyone this time of year. I like to encourage folks to consider gifts that are thoughtful yet sensible and more importantly, do not not clutter a home.
Here are a few ideas to help you be a clutter-free gift giver:

A year-long subscription to the zoo, museum, aviary or science center.

A good wine or a special micro-brew beer. Consider a year-long sampling for a larger gift or just a bottle or 6-pack for a smaller gift.

For the coffee drinker – a specialty coffee, gift card or free-refill card to their favorite coffee shop.

A fuel gift card or auto emergency kit for the student traveler.

Classes or workshops for a point of interest – dancing, cooking, quilting, photography, etc.

There are hundreds of recipes for edible and drinkable treats that can be assembled inside a jar such as cookies, soups and hot cocoa. Do a Google search for ‘recipes in a jar’ and take your pick!

A visit to an indoor water park is a nice treat for the whole family especially in the dead of winter.

A gift certificate for fitness – Yoga, Pilates or any fitness center.

A gift card to a favorite store or restaurant; consider your local establishments when possible.

Instead of a hard cover book or cd – consider an e-book gift or i-tunes gift card.

Specialty spices, oils or vinegars for the avid cook.

A charity or mission donation in someone’s name.

A gift certificate for a therapeutic massage, hair or nail salon is a luxurious treat.
